Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1
Character mistake: Prosecutor "Death Row" Hawkins finishes speaking with prospective jury member Mr. Cooper and tags in The Defense attorney, saying, "Mr. Matlock, your witness." Naturally, Cooper is not a witness of anything; they are selecting the jury.

Continuity mistake: At the fancy dinner at the beginning of the movie, Frida uses the titular line ("Blink twice if I am in danger") on Kyle MacLachlan. Rich slightly tips over his glasses as Slater waves his hand. In the next shot, Slater is still waving, but Rich's position is wildly different; his glasses are completely off and in fact below his waistline. (00:09:20)

Continuity mistake: During the drink-mixing sequence, the ice in the glass keeps changing position between shots. When, at the end, Venom pours the content of the mixer, it spills out, leaving the top half of the glass empty and mostly transparent. However, a second later, the glass is full to the brim with thick fluid.

Continuity mistake: When Venom fixes themselves a drink while singing "Tequila," Tom Hardy's right hand holds the mixer in different positions in each shot.
27th Oct 2024
Stupidity: Since we get frequent POV shots from their eyes, we see exactly what the creatures hunting Venom see. Even when the Codex disappears from their view, they can see distinctly Venom's shape, and they have no problem using their appendages and brute force against any and every creature. There are moments in the movie (such as the scene in Vegas) when the Xenophage just stops for no reason; even if the big blinking thing is gone, you can still see the shape it was attached to.
27th Oct 2024
Continuity mistake: When Eddie and Martin meet for the first time in the woods and they are having a conversation, Rhys Ifans wears his necklace with the pendant above his clothes in the majority of the shots, except the ones when the camera is focused on Tom Hardy and he is facing left. In those shots, the pendant is under the T-shirt.
27th Oct 2024
Stupidity: When an explosion hits the courtroom, Arthur is the closest person to it, with nothing to protect him, but he is the first and only one to recover, and every bailiff (not to mention the police outside the courthouse) outside of explosion range is mysteriously knocked out and/or absent.
27th Oct 2024
Continuity mistake: During the interview for the commission, Arthur's psychiatrist asks him about his mother's voice. He replies, "What does that mean?" cigarette in hand, barely above the table. In the next shot, the cigarette is in his mouth. She asks a few seconds later about Joker, "Would he like to talk to me?" Joaquin Phoenix is smoking his cigarette at a different angle between shots.
27th Oct 2024
Continuity mistake: When the barber, towards the beginning of the movie, asks Arthur if he's got a joke for them, Joaquin Phoenix's face is cleaner from soap compared to the previous and following part of the scene - when it's thicker on the neck and goes all the way up on the cheekbone.
27th Oct 2024
Continuity mistake: During the cartoon short that opens the movie, Joker, on his way to the stage, breaks the arm of a man in the corridor. In the background, slightly ahead of him in his path, is a poster for Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times. The camera angle changes as Shadow Joker turns around; he is supposed to be in the same spot, but the poster is way behind him; Joker is now standing next to the Pal Joey poster.

Continuity mistake: When Jamie hands Cooper the box cutter, it changes position between shots.
13th Aug 2024
Continuity mistake: Cooper is back to his daughter after his bathroom break. He tells her that he met the mother of one of the friends she has a complicated relationship with. He holds her close, grabbing her shoulder. But meanwhile, Lady Raven on stage starts talking, and the next shot, father and daughter are in a different position already.
13th Aug 2024
Stupidity: The behaviour of Lady Raven and Cooper in the bathroom scene does not make any sense. They both reached an obvious point of no return the moment she stole his phone, and he violently chases her. Cooper is never going to bounce back from his actions in the eye of his daughter, but he gives the singer about three and a half minutes of time (on screen, supposedly way longer) to do the most counter-intuitive actions possible, something she couldn't know she would be allowed to do, since obviously a beast of a firefighter like the maniac she is dealing with could, should, would have kicked that flimsy door open in no time. Nor could Cooper know that she wasn't just going to call the police on him right away after breaking or throwing away his phone. Which was all she needed to do.
13th Aug 2024
Plot hole: The movie establishes that the FBI has a list of suspects thanks to security camera footage from the area where the victims were found. "A red headed man, two African Americans above average height, a white haired man." Then, the zinger; "a man in his 30s with a tattoo of a rabbit or an animal on his right arm", which of course is our guy Josh Hartnett. We see the tattoo, and it's a little doodle of a sheep, about a couple square inches big, below his wrist. That doesn't really make sense; if they have security footage with that level of detail, one wonders how could the rest be so vague. The next entry mentions "a male with a scar on his jaw", which is even more absurd. Either the security cameras picked those details up along with the suspect's full appearance and mugshot, or they just can't know with such certainty (if the suspect was masked or concealed in any way, then they would know for sure it was the killer and wouldn't be chasing people with wildly different appearances).

Continuity mistake: Inside Lady Raven's limo, the protagonist's daughter changes seats briefly to go hug her dad. She then grabs the swag bag and asks her idol, "Uhm, can I?" to move back next to her. Saleka Shyamalan says "Yeah" and gestures to her, but she does that looking towards her right (left side of the screen, which would make sense only if Riley were sitting to her father's left. She is seated at his right).

Other mistake: During their first confrontation with Cassandra Nova, the dynamic duo seem to score a point when Wolverine backstabs her in a very literal sense. While it makes for a cool moment, it also is pure nonsense; they are in an open space surrounded by her goons and none of them has the slightest reaction nor you can see any cover Wolverine could have used to sneak upon her. Even the soft ground is intact.
Suggested correction: Cassandra uses her powers to phase shift (ghosting, selective intangibility) Wolverine into the ground and behind her. After her quite long time inside Deadpool's head, Wolverine manages to get himself out, phasing himself back behind her and stabs her. Since he was phasing, the ground won't be disturbed.
But he DOES disturb the ground when she phases him into it. He sinks in a hole, he leaves a trail. And that is with her controlling the process. Since he doesn't control the phasing and how to emerge from it, I don't get how he can just casually pop up (with no particular speed) without any trace, and again, unseen surrounded by goons watching from every angle, to nobody's reaction.
Look at the scene closely (if you can). There is far less disturbance than would have happened if someone was dragged through the ground. The only disturbance you see is from his claws still sticking out of the ground as he is being dragged; his body has zero effect on the ground. I think it also has to do with the amount of force Cassandra uses to pull him. Coming up slowly would hardly disturb it. The goons won't interfere; they know what she is capable of and has nothing to fear from these two.
Will of course check out the Disney+ release in the future, but the movie doesn't show the action going on this way; if they wanted to show him being phased, then they shouldn't have depicted him as being sucked into the ground with his body looking very much solid, nor his claws leaving claw-shaped trails. The fact that it causes much less of a disturbance than it could have is because well, her powers are not something we have a real life comparison with; the way she "skinned" Johnny wasn't physically accurate either but there's no lack of consistency with anything else. As for the on-screen portrayal of the ground pull, all I am pointing out is that he very much leaves physical and permanent trails on the ground that the movie shows, at no point his body shows to be immaterial, and then a minute later he just pops up, with no particular haste, and there are no traces of him going through the same medium. As for the lack of reaction, it's a lack of timely reaction; they do react to him when he stabs her, you can see some of them raising their guns, so it's not as if all of them have such trust in their boss' abilities that they are nonchalant about whatever is directed at her. It's just that they react to it when the audience does. There's no reason why they wouldn't do it earlier. Other than the fact that it's a movie, but's not like Deadpool makes a joke about their terrible reaction times.

Revealing mistake: In the second half of his fight with the TVA weaponizing Logan's spoils, Deadpool at one point accidentally stabs himself in one arm using Wolverine's claws. The claws are stuck and hard to pull out, and we are just a few seconds away from a prolonged visual gag based on that concept. However, in this circumstance, the claws come out effortlessly at an impossible angle as he spins away and they do not leave a mark on the suit.

Revealing mistake: When Deadpool dives away from Mr. Paradox and catches his Tempad, he falls towards the employee he has been harassing all along. As the camera closes in to the guy, he is holding a coffee mug, but in the next shot, the mug vanished. This wouldn't be a mistake and is actually a clever hook, since that is the same mug that appears in the intro and the implication is that Deadpool got it at that point in time. However, the implementation seems to be faulty since Deadpool warps away with both arms pointing up, facing away from the guy, who already isn't holding the cup anymore.

Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Mr. Paradox and Wade in front of the MCU screens featuring Captain America, a few times Matthew Macfadyen's motions do not quite match when the camera angle switches. For instance, he leans in twice when Wade salutes Cap, and twice away he bobs when he says he "can be a hero amongst heroes."
1st Aug 2024
Continuity mistake: During his introduction to the TVA, Wade is engaged in conversation with Mr. Paradox. There's an employee at a drawing table near them. When Wade salutes Cap, the woman changes position as the camera angle reverses.
